That a contaminating and foreign ele-
ment in the blood, developed by indi-
gestion, is the cause of rheumatism.
This settles upon the sensitive sub.
cutaneous covering of the muscles and
ligamenls of the joints, causing constant

calcareous, chalky deposit which pro-
duces stiffness and distortion of the JOINTS.
No fact which experience has demon
strated IN regard to Rostetter's stomach

than this, namely, that this medicine OF

able and atrocious disease, nor is it less

ONE LIVED, THE OTHER DIED.

A woman formerly our slave IS now
our cook. About eighteen months ago
she became sickly and had cough and
was confined to bed, and it was thought
that she had consumption. The treats
ment by physicians failed to give relief
In December, 1884. node or knot the
size of goose egg formed just above the
pit of the stomach, which when lanced
discharged matter for considerable
time. For six months of this time she
was confined to the house, and most OF
the time in bed. The stomach often re-
fused food, by rejecting what she had
eaten She used great deal OF medicine,
but failed to be cured. I bought one
bottle of B B B. (made in Atlanta, Ga, }
and gave it to her and she commenced to
improve. then bought and gave her
three bottles more, and she continued to
improve and in two months time her
cough had ceased, her constitution
Strengthened, appetite and digestion
good, all discharges ceased. nodes or
knots disappeared and she went to work
apparently healthy and fattened up great.

This woman had married sister OF
near same age who was affected in pre-
cisely the same way and about the same
time. She had node or knot on pit Of
stomach, back, etc. She did not take
any B. B. B. and the node on her stom-
ach ate through to the cavity. She con
tinued on the decline and wasted away,
and finally died.
These were two terrible cases of blood
poison,-one used B. B. B. and was
speedily cured-the other did not use il

chants of this town. Yours truly,

ONE OF THEIR PECULTARITIEs.

One Of ne peculiarities of this strange
people is the way they raise their rice,
which is their main staple, almost their
sole stock of provisions, eked out with
fruits, roots and herbs, which they collect
when in season, and the jungle is prolific
Of such kinds OF food Each village has
its head man, all live in common, and as
soon as field of rice is ready TO be cut
he orders it and distributes the grain
equally among his people, and so on dur
ing the season, all sharing alike. Their
only implements are a large knife used for
cutting rice, building their huts and max
ing tops and cutting their way through
the underground, and pair of shears for
cutting hair, which they cut short with
the exception of a tuft on the crown of the
head about two inches in length, which
looks like a shoebrush, standing up like
bristles. Having no pots, they cook their
rice in bamboo. They cut off section
and shave it thin, open hole in one end,
put in the rice and water, then closing up
the end put it in the fire. Green bamboo
being impervious to the fire, they thus
have first class pot. The same is used by
the Siamese when travelling through the
jungle-and as they eat with their fingers
they need no dishes, and thus have none
to wash when the meal is over.
When they need cloth, knives or shoes
they barter the products of the jungle,
which are many and varied, consisting of
rhinoceros horns, elephant tusks, horn,
bone, hide and skin, but will not take
money except in rare cases. having no use
for it, not knowing its value. They are ex-
| pert trappers and snare all kind of game,
| elephant, rhinoceros, tigers, leopards,
| pumas, deer and all other denizens of the
| wild wood for their skin, and some of the
| finest ivory exported was purchased from
| these people, but their skins were badly
| handled, which detracts from their value,
| being merely dried in the sun after being
| stripped from the animal.
| When forced to go shod, which is sell
| dom, they improvise sandal. which they
| make out of piece of hide, rounded in
| front and behind, with hole where the
| big toe rests through which is inserted q
piece of bamboo, fastened on the bottom
with loop on top, through which the toe

the foot, They pay II taxes acknowl-

SLAMS QUEER PEOPLE.
A RACE OF BARBARlANS WHO IN
HABIT TIE JUNGLES.

A Strange People Who occupy the Low
est Plane of Rum&nity-Their Sim
pIicity of Life-Food and Clothing.
Various Peeuiiaritie5.
Among the many peculiarities OF this
peculiar section is an almost unknown
race of people, an account of which | feel
assured will be of great interest A few
days since the governor Of Sangk1a,
province on the west coast of Siam, who
was here to bring tribut to the king, gave
me considerable information in regard 10
these people who live on the coast, term
ing them Ken Poh-jungle people. They
make their homes amid the densest por
ton of the forest, have but little commu-
nication with the outer world-in fact
they are entirely isolated. The only per
sons that they hold intercourse with are
slaves and traders who have penetrated
the jungle in search of game or barter, as
it is almost impossible to penetrate to the
villages on account of the density of the
vegetation, the dangerous beasts and
venomous serpents that infest them.
They shun all intercourse with strangers,
in small villages, and are a muscular,
hardy race, strictly vegetarians, do not
drink or smoke opium, have but few, it
any, of the vices of the natives, are but
FIVE feet in height and seem to be sunk in
the most ahlecf barbarism, occupying the
lowest grade of humanity
What little religion they have is mon
grel worship of demons and the malignant
spirits that they assert inhabit the Jungle,
which they attempt to propitiate by pres.
ents, etc. Their habitations are partly
subterranean, about four feet high, an ex,
cavation in the ground around which
stakes are driven, covered with dome OF
| plated bamboo over which is pastered q
thick coating of mud, which soon harden;
| in the sun, rendering it impervious to the
rain or the heavy dews of that section
which they occupy only when necessity
| requires, as they live mostly in the oper
| air, and when the land is overf1owed VI
| in the trees Their chthing is of the mos
| primitive kind. A piece of cloth abou
| one foot wide and four feet in length
| which is held in place by piece of hans
| or vine as they have no cord or rope, j;
| made into belt placed around the waist
| then the cloth is inserted between tn,
| legs and carried both back and front III
under the belt over which it laps, aBt
the band being drawn tight holds it il
| place. and as the ends are opened spread
out like small aprons, and thus the deni
zens of the jungle are in full dress, some
what akin to the Edenic costume of old
the fig leaf.
